Eco Wave Power Global entered into an official Power Purchase Agreement with the Israeli National Electric Company (“IEC”), based on the official Feed-in Tariff (“FIT”) which was set for the Company’s newly-installed wave energy project at the Port of Jaffa in Tel Aviv, Israel, by Israel’s Electric Authority (IEA).
With the Power Purchase Agreement in place, a private examiner has successfully approved the technology’s grid synchronization, in accordance with the accepted grid connection standards. Next, the Israeli Electric Company (IEC) will perform its own synchronization test and then will officially connect the EWP-EDF One wave energy project to Israel’s energy grid. Once connected, the EWP-EDF One Project will represent the first time in the country’s history that electricity produced by the power of waves will be transmitted to Israel’s national electric grid.
“The official start of grid connection for our EWP-EDF One Project is a moment that we have been waiting for, as it represents an important milestone for our company and our country,” said Inna Braverman, Eco Wave Power’s Founder and CEO. “Eco Wave Power is committed to making a positive change in the world, and we can’t wait to turn the switch on at the EWP-EDF One Project at the Port of Jaffa.”
